Analysis of The Truth On Trial



The Doctor and aspiring Judge
  their facts now up for grabs

Agendas twisted, the world at stake
   neoclassic power grab

Memories scarce and memories bent
  all truth behind the lines

With punches far below the belt
  —and justice ill defined

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)
